POTTSVILLE — The body of an unidentified man was recovered from the Pottsville area on Saturday afternoon.

Pope County Coroner Leonard Krout said the body was sent to the Arkansas State Medical Examiner for positive identification and determination of cause of death.

Until the Medical Examiner's findings are released, Krout said it cannot be confirmed whether the body is that of Phillip Siegeler, 28, who was last seen Feb. 6.

According to a report filed with the Pottsville Police Department, Siegeler’s mother said on the day Siegeler went missing, he was hallucinating and yelling that there were people outside his window trying to get him. Her husband became upset with Siegeler and kicked him out of the house.

Siegeler left on foot and has not been seen since. A BOLO — be on the lookout — alert was issued for Pope and surrounding counties on Feb. 9, and he was entered as a missing person on Feb. 10.

On Feb. 11, officers looked for Siegeler using a search dog. The search began at Siegeler’s residence on River Road and went approximately two or three miles south. The report stated officers believed Siegeler was in a vehicle and no longer in the area.

The Pope County Office of Emergency Management dispatched a search and rescue team to River Road on Feb. 14 to continue the search.

Krout said on Monday the body was located in the woods near Narrow Road off of River Road. Pottsville Police Department, the Pope County Sheriff's Office and Krout's office responded to the scene.
